: How close are you staying to the lines of the 'glass AA?

Outside dimensions are exact (or at least off of the diagram on the AKT website). Except for the "masik", which is lower. Keel to bottom of masik is 9".

: As for deck stringers, you're still using two from the masik to the footrest,
: right? If that's the case, why not extend them all the way to the bow
: plate and attach them near the chines? Do the same from the back rest to
: the stern. That should add significant stiffness.

Well, it would be more significant if those stringers weren't in plane with the gunwale stringers. True, they will add stiffness, but not as much as they would if I made a peaked deck.

: If you do this, you'll need to make some special float bags, but I would
: think you'd have enough material handy.
